Channel 10 and the clock.....

[CureTheSane]

Jesus they piss me off.

If they don't wanna have the clock showing, then don't damn well give away how much time is left.

Swans down by 2 points and at the bounce they say "the swans need a clearance"
OK - so we know there's only 10 seconds left or so.

I HATE the 5 minute warning, but I hate more that it is clear in teh commentary that they know exactly how much time is left and it taints the ends of the games.

I hate the fact that their voice sync is out of whack

Agree- you have no idea when the siren is going to go. Sometimes it goes off at 29min sometimes 31min. Why cant they just have the clock counting down from 30 minutes? It's really annoying!

Yep definitely annoying.

That was bad during Before the Game as well. It was only live TV, the ads were OK.

They obviously do it to make it more 'thrilling'........but all it's doing is driving people up the wall.

I've never found it to add 'thrill' to the game.

Basketball doesn't have a 5 minute clock.

There'd be riots if there was.....

i dont mind it. put it this way, in last years GF when the ball was going to be thrown in, we would've known we would already lose. same with the 2005 Gf, we would've already've known we had won when barry took the mark.

Not most of us. We were at the ground.

- screaming "don't blow the siren yet" (2006)

That is oh so true. Exactly how it happened.

Or as Rex Hunt said in 2005 "What's wrong with the siren you Bastards" or words to that effect.
